Pose determining method and related device

ABSTRACT

The technology of this application relates to a pose determining method. The method includes obtaining a first image, when first pose information determined based on the first image meets a pose anomaly condition, displaying prompt information for indicating to photograph a target object, and obtaining, by using the target object in the target image captured by a user based on the prompt, second pose information that does not meet the pose anomaly condition. When high-precision pose information cannot be determined, pose positioning is implemented by using the target object in a scenario. In addition, in a process of determining pose information of a terminal device, prompt information for indicating the user to photograph the target object is displayed, and the user is indicated to photograph the target object, thereby avoiding that the user does not know how to operate or scan an invalid target object.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the image processing field, and in particular, to a pose determining method and a related device.

BACKGROUND

A problem to be resolved by a visual localization technology is how to accurately locate a location and a pose of a camera in the real world by using images or videos captured by the camera. Visual positioning is a hot issue in the computer vision field in recent years, and is very challenging. It is of great significance in augmented reality, interactive virtual reality, robot visual navigation, public scene monitoring, intelligent transportation, and other fields. A current positioning algorithm mainly relies on a global visual feature to perform image retrieval to determine a candidate frame, performs feature matching based on a local visual feature, determines a correspondence between a 2D key point of an image and a 3D point cloud, and then accurately estimates a pose of a camera.

An existing visual positioning solution in the industry mainly relies on a visual feature to perform image search and positioning. However, the visual feature-based solution has a poor effect in some scenarios. For example, in an indoor museum scenario, a light condition of a site is poor, and a valid feature point cannot be extracted from most areas of an image. For example, in an outdoor park scenario, a field of view is large, and a large area of an image is occupied by green plants, and an extracted feature point cannot be used as a valid matching point. The application scenarios of visual positioning have some limitations.

The following describes embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings. A person of ordinary skill in the art may learn that, with development of technologies and emergence of a new scenario, the technical solutions provided in embodiments of this application are also applicable to a similar technical problem.

In the specification, claims, and the accompanying drawings of this application, the terms “first”, “second”, and the like are intended to distinguish similar objects but do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence.

For ease of understanding, the following describes, by using an example, a structure of a terminal 100 provided in this embodiment of this application. Refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a terminal device according to an embodiment of this application.

As shown in the FIG. 1 , the terminal 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (USB) port 130, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, a headset jack 170D, a sensor module 180, a button 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display 194, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card interface 195, and the like. The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a gyro sensor 180B, a barometric pressure sensor 180C, a magnetic sensor 180D, an acceleration sensor 180E, a distance sensor 180F, an optical proximity sensor 180G, a fingerprint sensor 180H, a temperature sensor 180J, a touch sensor 180K, an ambient light sensor 180L, a bone conduction sensor 180M, and the like.

It may be understood that the structure shown in this embodiment of the present technology does not constitute a specific limitation on the terminal 100. In some other embodiments of this application, the terminal 100 may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or some components may be combined, or some components may be split, or there may be a different component layout. The components shown in the figure may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

The processor 110 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 110 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and/or a neural-network processing unit (NPU). Different processing units may be independent components, or may be integrated into one or more processors.

The controller may generate an operation control signal based on an instruction operation code and a time sequence signal, to control instruction reading and instruction execution.

A memory may be further disposed in the processor 110, and is configured to store instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may store instructions or data that has been recently used or cyclically used by the processor 110. If the processor 110 needs to use the instructions or the data again, the processor may directly invoke the instructions or the data from the memory.

For example, when a shutter is pressed, the gyro sensor 180B detects an angle at which the terminal 100 jitters, calculates, based on the angle, a distance for which a lens module needs to compensate, and allows a lens to cancel the jitter of the terminal 100 through reverse motion, to implement the image stabilization. The gyro sensor 180B may further be used in a navigation scenario and a somatic game scenario.

The barometric pressure sensor 180C is configured to measure barometric pressure. In some embodiments, the terminal 100 calculates an altitude based on a barometric pressure value measured by the barometric pressure sensor 180C, to assist in positioning and navigation.

A software system of the terminal 100 may use a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In this embodiment of the present technology, an Android system with the layered architecture is used as an example to illustrate a software structure of the terminal 100.

FIG. 2 a is a block diagram of the software structure of the terminal 100 according to an embodiment of this disclosure.

In a layered architecture, software is divided into several layers, and each layer has a clear role and task. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, an Android system is divided into four layers: an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in FIG. 2 a , the application packages may include applications such as Camera, Gallery, Calendar, Phone, Map, Navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, Music, Videos, and Messages.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for an application at the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 2 a , the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

A window manager is configured to manage a window program. The window manager may obtain a size of a display, determine whether there is a status bar, perform screen locking, take a screenshot, and the like.

The content provider is configured to store and obtain data, and enable the data to be accessed by an application. The data may include a video, an image, audio, calls that are made and answered, a browsing history and bookmarks, an address book, and the like.

The view system includes visual controls such as a control for displaying a text and a control for displaying a picture. The view system may be used to construct an application. A display interface may include one or more views. For example, a display interface including a short message service message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying a picture.

The phone manager is configured to provide a communication function for the terminal 100, for example, management of a call status (including answering, declining, or the like).

The resource manager provides various resources such as a localized character string, an icon, an image, a layout file, and a video file for an application.

The notification manager enables an application to display notification information in a status bar, and may be configured to convey a notification message. The notification manager may automatically disappear after a short pause without requiring a user interaction. For example, the notification manager is configured to notify download completion, provide a message notification, and the like. The notification manager may alternatively be a notification that appears in a top status bar of the system in a form of a graph or a scroll bar text, for example, a notification of an application running on the background or a notification that appears on a screen in a form of a dialog window. For example, text information is prompted in the status bar, an alert sound is played, the electronic device vibrates, or the indicator light blinks.

The Android runtime includes a kernel library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

The kernel library includes two parts: a function that needs to be called in Java language and a kernel library of Android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run on the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is configured to implement functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and abnormality management, and garbage collection.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules, for example, a surface manager, a media library, a three-dimensional graphics processing library (for example, an OpenGL ES), and a 2D graphics engine (for example, an SGL).

The surface manager is configured to manage a display subsystem, and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for a plurality of applications.

The media library supports playback and recording in a plurality of commonly used audio and video formats, static image files, and the like. The media library may support a plurality of audio and video coding formats such as MPEG-4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG.

The three-dimensional graphics processing library is configured to implement three-dimensional graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, layer processing, and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer includes at least a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, and a sensor driver.

The following describes an example of a working procedure of software and hardware of the terminal 100 with reference to a photographing capture scenario.

When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interruption is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including information such as touch coordinates and a time stamp of the touch operation). The original input event is stored at the kernel layer. The application framework layer obtains the original input event from the kernel layer, and identifies a control corresponding to the input event. For example, the touch operation is a single-tap operation and a control corresponding to the single-tap operation is a control of a camera application icon. A camera application invokes an interface at the application framework layer, to start the camera application. Then, the camera driver is started by invoking the kernel layer, and a static image or a video is captured by using the camera 193.

An embodiment of this application further provides a server 1300.

The server 1300 may include a processor 1310 and a transceiver 1320. The transceiver 1320 may be connected to the processor 1310, as shown in FIG. 2 b .

An embodiment of this application further provides a pose determining system. As shown in FIG. 2 c , the system may include a terminal device and a server. The terminal device may be a mobile terminal, a human-computer interaction device, or an in-vehicle visual perception device, for example, a mobile phone, a floor scanner, an intelligent robot, an unmanned vehicle, an intelligent monitor, or an augmented reality (AR) wearing device. Correspondingly, a method provided in embodiments of this disclosure may be applied to application fields such as human-computer interaction, in-vehicle visual perception, augmented reality, intelligent monitoring, and unmanned driving.

For ease of understanding, a pose determining method provided in embodiments of this application is specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings and an application scenario.

Refer to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a pose determining method according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 3 , the pose determining method provided in this application includes the following steps.

301: Obtain a first image.

In this embodiment of this application, to display an AR interface, a terminal may obtain a video stream captured by the terminal, where the first image is an image frame in the video stream captured by the terminal.

302: Determine first pose information based on the first image, where the first pose information indicates a corresponding pose in which the terminal captures the first image.

In this embodiment of this application, to display the AR interface, the terminal may obtain the video stream shot by the terminal, and obtain, based on the video stream, a corresponding pose in which the terminal photographs the video stream.

The following describes how to obtain, based on the video stream, the corresponding pose in which the terminal captures the video stream.

In an implementation, the terminal may calculate a pose of the terminal based on data obtained by a photographing device carried by the terminal and some positioning-related sensors. Alternatively, the terminal may send, to a server on the cloud side, data obtained by a photographing device carried by the terminal and some positioning-related sensors, and the server calculates a pose of the terminal, and sends the calculated pose to the terminal.

For example, the server calculates the pose information of the terminal. Specifically, the terminal device may send, to the server, obtained data such as a video stream captured by the photographing device of the terminal, location information of the terminal (for example, location information obtained based on a global positioning system (GPS) or location information obtained based on location-based services (LBS)), a historical moment simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) pose, and a historical moment positioning pose. The historical moment SLAM pose is an SLAM pose change that is recorded by the terminal device during online positioning before. The historical moment positioning pose is a positioning pose result that is recorded by the terminal device during online positioning before.

The server may extract an image frame from the received video stream as an input frame, then extract a global feature of the input frame, and search a digital map for an image similar to the input frame based on the global feature, to obtain a plurality of candidate frames. The found candidate frame and the input frame have a co-view relationship. The co-view relationship refers to that the found candidate frame is an image whose photographing angle difference is within Y degrees within X meters near a location of the input frame and whose photographed content has a co-view relationship with that of the input frame. X and Y may be preset values.

It should be understood that the digital map is a warehouse for organizing, storing, and managing map data. The digital map may include an image of scene map data, an image of feature data (including a global feature and a local feature), point cloud data, and 3D object data, a point cloud, and feature data (including a global feature and a local feature). The data is added to the digital map after offline registration processing. How to construct the digital map is described in a subsequent embodiment.

After obtaining the candidate frames, the server may extract a local feature of the input frame, perform image matching on the input frame and the plurality of candidate frames, to obtain a 2D-2D correspondence, and obtain matching pairs between 2D points of the candidate frames and the point cloud from the digital map, to obtain a 2D-3D correspondence between the input frame and the point cloud.

The server may calculate a pose of the input frame, namely, a preliminary pose result of the terminal device, based on the 2D-3D correspondence between the input frame and the point cloud according to a pose solution algorithm. The pose solution algorithm may include but is not limited to a pose solution algorithm for perspective of n points (pnp), a pose solution algorithm for perspective of two points (p2p), and the like.

The foregoing is described by using an example in which the server calculates the pose information of the terminal device. The following is described by using an example in which the terminal device completes calculation of the pose information of the terminal device.

The terminal device may obtain data such as a video stream captured by the photographing device of the terminal, location information of the terminal (for example, location information obtained based on a global positioning system (GPS) or location information obtained based on location-based services (LBS)), a historical moment simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) pose, and a historical moment positioning pose. The terminal device extracts an image frame from the received video stream as an input frame, then extracts a global feature of the input frame, and searches a digital map for an image similar to the input frame based on the global feature, to obtain a plurality of candidate frames. After obtaining the candidate frames, the terminal device may extract a local feature of the input frame, perform image matching on the input frame and the plurality of candidate frames, to obtain a 2D-2D correspondence, and obtain matching pairs between 2D points of the candidate frames and the point cloud from the digital map, to obtain a 2D-3D correspondence between the input frame and the point cloud. The terminal device may calculate a pose of the input frame based on the 2D-3D correspondence between the input frame and the point cloud according to a pose solution algorithm.

It should be noted that the pose in this embodiment of this application may include three-dimensional location coordinates, a yaw angle, a pitch angle, and a roll angle at which the terminal device captures an image.

When the corresponding pose in which the video stream is captured is obtained, the augmented reality AR interface may be displayed based on the corresponding pose in which the video stream is captured. The AR interface may include a preview stream corresponding to the video stream. Specifically, after obtaining the corresponding pose in which the video stream is captured, the terminal may display the AR interface based on the pose. The AR interface may include an image (the preview stream) of an environment in which the terminal device is currently located and an identifier generated based on pose information of the terminal device. For example, if the AR interface is an AR navigation interface, the identifier may be a navigation guide. If the AR interface is a scenario explanation AR interface, for example, an exhibit explanation interface in a museum, the identifier may be an indication mark of an exhibit.

In this embodiment of this application, the first image is a frame in the video stream. The corresponding pose in which the video stream is captured includes the first pose information. The first pose information indicates the corresponding pose in which the terminal captures the first image.

303: When the first pose information meets a pose anomaly condition, display prompt information for indicating to photograph a target object, where the target object is around a location of the terminal, the target object is not in the first image, the target object is used to obtain second pose information, the second pose information indicates a corresponding pose in which the terminal photographs the target object, and the second pose information does not meet the pose anomaly condition.

In some scenarios, due to an environment in which a video is captured, a valid feature point cannot be extracted from the extracted input frame. For example, in some indoor scenarios, such as a museum and an art exhibition hall, in which a site environment has a poor illumination condition and most walls and floors have weak textures and repeated textures, a valid visual feature point cannot be extracted. In some outdoor scenarios, such as parks and large squares, in which most of an environment is green plants and there are no obvious buildings, extracted visual feature points cannot be used for positioning.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the terminal may display the AR interface based on the corresponding pose in which the video stream is captured. However, when calculating the pose corresponding to the first image in the video stream, due to an environment in which the terminal is located when the first image is photographed, pose precision of the obtained pose calculation result (the first pose information) meets the pose anomaly condition. The pose anomaly condition may include: pose information is unavailable; or a deviation between currently determined pose information and correct pose information is greater than a threshold.

That pose information is unavailable may be understood as that the pose information cannot be obtained within time T1, or the pose information cannot be calculated based on an image. For example, the terminal cannot receive, within the time T1, the pose information calculated by the server, or the terminal receives an indication that the pose information cannot be calculated and that is fed back by the server, or the terminal cannot calculate the pose information based on the image. It should be understood that T1 may be preset time, and T1 may be a value from 0 seconds to 0.5 seconds. For example, T1 may be 0.1 seconds or 0.3 seconds.

The correct pose information may be understood as pose information that can be calculated by the server based on a standard digital map, and the correct pose information may objectively and correctly indicate a current pose of the terminal.

That a deviation between currently determined pose information and correct pose information is greater than a threshold may be understood as that the deviation between the currently determined pose information and a current correct pose of the terminal is excessively large. In an implementation, an example in which a pose is represented based on 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) is used. A corresponding threshold may be set for each degree of freedom, or a corresponding threshold may be set for a location coordinate point (including an X coordinate, a Y coordinate, and a Z coordinate), and a corresponding threshold is set for remaining angle information (a yaw angle θ1, a pitch angle θ2, and a roll angle θ3). Specifically, for the X coordinate and the Y coordinate, the corresponding threshold may be set to a value from 0 m to 2 m. For example, for the X coordinate and the Y coordinate, the corresponding threshold may be set to 0.5 m or 1 m. For the Z coordinate, the corresponding threshold may be set to a value from 0 m to 0.5 m. For example, for the Z coordinate, the corresponding threshold may be set to 0.1 m or 0.25 m. For the yaw angle θ1, the pitch angle θ2, and the roll angle θ3, the corresponding threshold may be set to a value from 0 degrees to 10 degrees. For example, for the yaw angle θ1, the pitch angle θ2, and the roll angle θ3, the corresponding threshold may be set to 5 degrees or 4 degrees. In this case, when a deviation between any degree of freedom in the six degrees of freedom and a corresponding correct pose value exceeds a corresponding threshold, it is considered that the deviation between the currently determined pose information and the correct pose information is greater than the threshold; or when a deviation between several specified degrees of freedom in the six degrees of freedom and a corresponding correct pose value exceeds a corresponding threshold, it is considered that the deviation between the currently determined pose information and the correct pose information is greater than the threshold.

In an implementation, in addition to the pose information, the pose calculation result may include confidence corresponding to the pose information. The confidence may be determined based on a reprojection error, a quantity of interior points, or the like. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application. When the confidence is excessively low, it may be considered that the deviation between the currently determined pose information and the correct pose information is greater than the threshold. For example, it is assumed that a full confidence score is 1.0. When the confidence is less than 0.6, it is considered that the deviation between the currently determined pose information and the correct pose information is greater than the threshold; or when the confidence is less than 0.7, it is considered that the deviation between the currently determined pose information and the correct pose information is greater than the threshold.

In the foregoing scenario, there is usually an object having a significant visual feature (the significant visual feature means that a visual texture feature of the object has a high recognition degree. Specifically, that the texture feature has a high recognition degree means that there are a small quantity of objects having a same texture feature as the target object in the world, and the target object can be determined based on the texture feature of the target object), for example, a museum relics or a sculpture in a park. Using these objects as positioning targets can greatly improve a positioning success rate. However, in an existing digital map modeling process, a video sequence of a large-scale scenario is collected along a fixed route, and then a sparse point cloud of the scenario is generated through offline processing. For a single object, there is only a small quantity of sparse point clouds, and a requirement for 3D object positioning cannot be met. Therefore, a 3D object may be separately collected and processed offline to generate dense data such as a point cloud and an image.

In an implementation, the server may determine the calculated preliminary pose result (the first pose information). If the first pose information meets the pose anomaly condition, the server may determine, from the digital map based on the location of the terminal, an object (referred to as the target object in this embodiment) around the terminal, and send information including the target object to the terminal. The being around the terminal may be understood as that the target object and the location of the terminal are within a preset distance range. Due to a short distance, the user may easily move to a location near the target object. The being around the terminal may alternatively be understood as that the target object and the location of the terminal are in a same region of a map. For example, in a museum scenario, both the target object and the first object are in a museum, and the user may easily move to a location near the target object. The being around the terminal may alternatively be understood that there is no other obstacle between the target object and the location of the terminal.

Specifically, the digital map may include pre-collected information about a plurality of objects. The information may include but is not limited to locations of the objects, images of the objects, a point cloud of the objects, and the like. When determining that real-time pose precision of the terminal device meets the pose anomaly condition, the server may obtain, from the digital map, objects (including the target object) around the location of the terminal, and send information indicating these objects to the terminal, so that the terminal may display the information about these objects on a target interface. Further, the terminal may capture a target image including these objects, and re-determine a pose based on the target image.

It should be understood that the target object is not in the first image. In an implementation, the first image does not include any part of the target object. In an implementation, the first image includes only a part of the target object, the other part of the target object is not in the first image, and the part of the target object included in the first image is insufficient to determine location information of the terminal.

Specifically, the digital map may include 3D point cloud information of a plurality of objects. The first object corresponds to first 3D point cloud information in the digital map. The target object corresponds to the second 3D point cloud information in the digital map. A point cloud density of the second 3D point cloud information is higher than a point cloud density of the first 3D point cloud information.

In this embodiment of this application, the target object is a landmark object that is capable of being completely photographed under a current photographing parameter of the terminal and whose physical location is relatively fixed. The being capable of being completely photographed under a current photographing parameter of the terminal may be understood as that the target object is a small and medium—sized object, and the user can capture a full image of the target object under the current photographing parameter of the terminal. That the physical location is relatively fixed does not mean that the target object cannot be moved, but means that the target object is in a static state relative to the ground in a natural state. For example, in a museum scenario, the target object may be an exhibit.

In an implementation, the digital map includes a plurality of objects around the location of the terminal. The server or the terminal may select at least one object (including the target object) from the plurality of objects based on a preset condition. The following describes how to select the at least one object from the plurality of objects based on the preset condition.

In this embodiment of this application, the target object that meets the preset condition may be determined from the digital map based on the location of the terminal, where the digital map includes a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects are objects around the location of the terminal, and the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

-   -   at least one object that is in the plurality of objects and that         is closer to the location of the terminal;     -   at least one object randomly determined in the plurality of         objects;     -   at least one object in the plurality of objects, where there is         no other obstacle between the at least one object and the         location of the terminal; or     -   at least one object that is in the plurality of objects and to         which the terminal needs to move from the location for a shorter         distance.

To allow the user carrying the terminal to conveniently move to the location near the target object, at least one object closer to the location of the terminal may be selected from the plurality of objects. Alternatively, at least one object may be selected from the plurality of objects, where there is no other obstacle between the at least one object and the location of the terminal. Alternatively, at least one object that is in the plurality of objects and to which the terminal needs to move from the location for a shorter distance may be selected from the plurality of objects.

More specifically, the server may send a target interface display indication to the terminal device, where the target interface display indication may include information about the target object. Correspondingly, the terminal device may display the prompt information for indicating to photograph the target object.

In an implementation, the terminal device may calculate the first pose information, and determine the calculated preliminary pose result (the first pose information). If the first pose information meets the pose anomaly condition, for example, the first pose information fails to be solved or a deviation between the pose precision of the first pose information and a correct value is greater than a threshold, the terminal device may determine, from the digital map based on the location of the terminal device, an object (referred to as the target object in this embodiment) located within a specific distance from the terminal. Alternatively, the terminal device may determine the calculated preliminary pose result (the first pose information). If the first pose information meets the pose anomaly condition, the terminal device may send, to the server, an indication that pose precision meets the pose anomaly condition. The server may determine, from the digital map, an object (referred to as the target object in this embodiment) located within a specific distance from the terminal, and send information including the target object to the terminal.

The following describes how the terminal device displays the prompt information for indicating to photograph the target object.

In an implementation, the terminal device may receive the information that is about the target object and that is sent by the server.

In this embodiment of this application, the information about the target object may include a location of the target object. Correspondingly, the terminal device may display the location of the target object, or display navigation information from the location of the terminal to the location of the target object. The information about the target object may further include an image, a name, and/or a category of the target object. Correspondingly, the terminal device may display the image, the name, and/or the category of the target object. The image may be obtained by photographing the target object in advance, and the name may be a specific name of the target object. For example, in a museum scenario, the name of the target object may be a name of an exhibit, a sequence number of the exhibit, a category of the exhibit, or the like.

It should be understood that the server may send, to the terminal device, information about the plurality of objects near the location of the terminal device. The target object is one of the plurality of objects. Correspondingly, the target interface may include a plurality of pieces of information for indicating the target object, and the user may select one of the plurality of objects.

In an implementation, the terminal device may obtain the information about the target object from the digital map.

Specifically, refer to FIG. 4 a . FIG. 4 a is a schematic diagram of a terminal interface according to an embodiment of this application. A terminal device may display an application navigation interface. The interface shown in FIG. 4 a includes an AR navigation application. A user may start the AR navigation application, and then the terminal may display an interface shown in FIG. 4 b . FIG. 4 b is a schematic diagram of a terminal interface according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 4 b , the AR navigation interface may include a preview stream captured by the terminal device and a navigation identifier. The navigation identifier is generated based on corresponding real-time pose information obtained when the terminal device captures the preview stream. If pose precision of the real-time pose information is lower than a threshold, the terminal device may display a terminal interface shown in FIG. 5 . FIG. 5 may include an identifier for indicating a current positioning failure, and a control (for example, a control of enabling object identification and positioning shown in FIG. 5 ) for indicating to start determining pose information based on the target object, and may further include a repositioning control.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the user may tap the control of enabling object identification and positioning. In response to the operation of tapping the control of enabling object identification and positioning by the user, the terminal device may display a terminal interface shown in FIG. 6 . The terminal interface may include prompt information for indicating the user to photograph the target object, for example, a name (“A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” shown in FIG. 6 ) of the target object and a location (a “location 1”, a “location 2”, a “location 3”, and a “location 4” shown in FIG. 6 ) of the target object shown in FIG. 6 .

In addition, in response to the operation of tapping the control of enabling object identification and positioning by the user, the terminal device may display a terminal interface shown in FIG. 7 . The terminal interface may include the information about the target object (for example, the navigation information from the location of the terminal to the location of the target object), for example, a navigation interface shown in FIG. 6 . The navigation interface may be a plane map, including an indication of the location of the terminal device and an indication of a location of the target object on the plane map.

It should be understood that interface layouts and control types in the terminal interfaces shown in FIG. 4 b to FIG. 7 are merely examples, and do not constitute a limitation on this embodiment.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal may obtain a target image captured by the user based on the prompt information, where the target image includes the target object.

In this embodiment of this application, the user may find the location of the target object based on the prompt.

For example, in a museum scenario, the terminal device may display a name, an image, or location information of at least one exhibit, and the user may select one exhibit (the target object), and find the location of the target object based on the name, the image, or the location information.

Further, the user may photograph the target object to obtain the target image, or the user may capture the target image to obtain the video stream, where the target image is an image frame in the video stream.

The following describes how the terminal photographs the target object to obtain the target image.

As shown in FIG. 6 , when the user reaches a location near the target object, the user may tap a “start to photograph” control displayed on a terminal interface in FIG. 6 . In response to the tapping of the “start to photograph” control by the user, the terminal device may display a photographing interface shown in FIG. 8 a or FIG. 8 b . As shown in FIG. 7 , when the user reaches a location near the target object, the user may tap a “start to photograph” control displayed on a terminal interface in FIG. 7 . In response to the tapping of the “start to photograph” control by the user, the terminal device may display a photographing interface shown in FIG. 8 a or FIG. 8 b.

In an implementation, after obtaining the target image, the terminal device may send the target image to the server, so that the server calculates the pose information of the terminal device based on the target image.

In an implementation, after obtaining the video stream including the target image, the terminal device may send the video stream to the server, so that the server calculates the pose information of the terminal device based on the target image in the video stream.

In an implementation, after obtaining the target image, the terminal device may calculate the pose information of the terminal device based on the target image.

In an implementation, after obtaining the video stream including the target image, the terminal device may calculate the pose information of the terminal device based on the target image in the video stream.

As shown in FIG. 8 a , FIG. 8 a is a schematic diagram of an interface that is displayed by a terminal device and that is used for photographing a target object. The user may photograph the target object by using the photographing interface shown in FIG. 8 a , to obtain a target image including the target object.

As shown in FIG. 8 b , FIG. 8 b is a schematic diagram of an interface that is displayed by a terminal device and that is used for photographing a target object. The user may scan the target object by using the photographing interface shown in FIG. 8 b , to obtain a video stream including the target object.

In this embodiment of this application, after the target image captured by the user based on the prompt information is obtained, the second pose information may be obtained based on the target object in the target image.

In this embodiment of this application, first pixel location of the target object in the target image and first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map may be obtained, where the first location information indicates a location of the target object in the digital map; and the second pose information is determined based on the first pixel location and the first location information.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may obtain the first pixel location of the target object in the target image.

In an implementation, the determining of the first pixel location may be independently completed by the terminal device, or may be implemented by interaction between the terminal device and the server. To be specific, the server determines the first pixel location, and sends the first pixel location to the terminal device.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may obtain the first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map.

In an implementation, the determining of the first location information may be independently completed by the terminal device, or may be implemented by interaction between the terminal device and the server. To be specific, the server determines the first location information, and sends the first location information to the terminal device.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may obtain the second pose information.

In an implementation, the step of determining the second pose information based on the first pixel location and the first location information may be independently completed by the terminal device, or may be implemented by interaction between the terminal device and the server. To be specific, the server determines the second pose information, and sends the second pose information to the terminal device.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may send the target image to the server, and receive the second pose information sent by the server. The pose information is determined by the server based on the first pixel location of the target object in the target image and the first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map. The first location information indicates the location of the target object in the digital map.

The second pose information is determined based on the 2D-3D correspondence between the first pixel location and the first location information. The 2D-3D correspondence indicates the correspondence between two-dimensional coordinates of the target object in the target image and three-dimensional coordinates of the target object in actual space.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may obtain the first pixel location of the target object in the target image, send the first pixel location in the target image to the server, and receive the second pose information sent by the server. The pose information is determined by the server based on the first pixel location of the target object in the target image and the first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map. The first location information indicates the location of the target object in the digital map.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may obtain the first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map, where the first location information indicates the location of the target object in the digital map; and send the target image and the first location information to the server, and receive the second pose information sent by the server, where the pose information is determined by the server based on the first pixel location of the target object in the target image and the first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map, and the first location information indicates the location of the target object in the digital map.

In this embodiment of this application, the target object is the landmark object that is capable of being completely photographed under the current photographing parameter of the terminal and whose physical location is relatively fixed. A texture feature of the target object has a higher recognition degree than a texture feature of the first object. Therefore, the second pose information determined based on the target object does not meet the pose anomaly condition. For example, the second pose information is successfully solved, and a difference between the second pose information and the correct pose information is less than a threshold.

The following describes how to construct the digital map in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9 b , a video frame sequence of the target object may be collected in advance. For example, the video frame sequence of the target object may be collected in a 360-degree surrounding manner, the video frame sequence is processed, 3D object modeling is performed offline, and a plurality of images of the target object, a local pose and a global pose of each image, and 3D point cloud data are output. The video frame sequence may be collected for a scene in which positioning is needed, the video frame sequence of the scene is processed, sparse reconstruction of the scene is completed offline, and a scene image database is output. The scene image database may include image data, a global pose, and a point cloud of the scene. Then, in the scene image database, an image including the target object is searched for, and a plurality of associated images of a scene map is output. In addition, features are extracted from the plurality of associated images. Image matching is performed on the features and the local poses of the target object. A 2D-2D correspondence between the features of the plurality of associated images and image features of the target object may be output. A relative relationship between the plurality of associated images and poses of the target object may be solved according to the pose solution algorithm based on a 2D-3D correspondence between the plurality of associated images and a 3D point cloud of the target object. The global poses of the target object may be calculated in combination with global poses of associated frames. The digital map may include the calculated data and global poses of the target object.

In addition, the global pose may be further optimized according to a graph optimization algorithm, to obtain a more robust global pose of the target object. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 a , poses of three frames P1, P2, and P3 are obtained through calculation for the plurality of associated images. A connection line between each feature point X1 to X6 on the target object and an optical center of a camera intersects with the image. There is a difference between the intersection point and a projection (namely, a pixel on the image) of a real object point on an image plane. The difference cannot be exactly 0. In this case, the difference needs to be minimized to obtain an optimal camera pose. Solution of this optimal problem is referred to as BA optimization. Based on this, calculation may be performed based on sparseness of a BA model according to a Levenbrg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The LM algorithm is a combination of a steepest descent method (a gradient descent method) and Gauss-Newton.

Conventional pose solution is to solve a 3D object pose based on a 2D-3D relationship between 2D features of a 3D object image and a 3D point cloud of a scene. However, in a process of collecting and sparsely reconstructing a scene map, visual features in a large-scale environment are extracted, and sparse features and sparse point clouds are extracted for a 3D object in the scene. When the sparse point clouds are used for image matching and pose solution of the 3D object, accuracy and a success rate are not optimal neither. In this embodiment, reverse pose solution is to perform matching and pose solution by using an image scene and a dense 3D object point cloud. In this way, positioning accuracy and a success rate are greatly improved.

The following describes how to obtain the first pixel location of the target object in the target image and the first location information corresponding to the target object in the digital map.

In this embodiment of this application, the first pixel location may be a pixel location of a feature point or a feature line of the target object in the target image. The feature point may be a corner point of the target object in the target image. The feature line may be an edge line of the target object in the target image. This is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment of this application, the first location information may include three-dimensional 3D object point cloud information of the target object in the digital map. The first location information may further include a corresponding global pose in which the photographing device photographs the target object to obtain the first image. Correspondingly, the second pose information finally obtained through calculation may indicate a corresponding global pose in which the terminal captures the target image.

In this embodiment of this application, the 2D-3D correspondence between the first pixel location and the first location information may be obtained. The 2D-3D correspondence indicates the correspondence between two-dimensional coordinates of the target object in the target image and three-dimensional coordinates of the target object in actual space. The second pose information is determined based on the 2D-3D correspondence.

Specifically, after the 2D-3D correspondence between the first pixel location and the first location information is obtained, the second pose information may be calculated according to the pose solution algorithm. The pose solution algorithm may include but is not limited to a pose solution algorithm for perspective of n points (pnp), a pose solution algorithm for perspective of two points (p2p), and the like.

In an implementation, after the target image is obtained, object identification may be first performed on the target image. Specifically, the target object in the target image may be identified by using a deep learning-based neural network model, and preliminary pose information of the terminal device that photographs the target object is output. Then, a local visual feature (the first pixel location) in the target image is extracted, 2D-2D matching is performed between the local visual feature and the image of the target object in the digital map. After that, a 2D-3D correspondence may be obtained in combination with the 3D object point cloud (the first location information) in the digital map. The 2D-3D correspondence is input to the pose solution algorithm to perform pose solution. Finally, a more accurate 3D object pose (the second pose information) is obtained. For a schematic diagram of 2D-3D matching, refer to FIG. 9 c . A 3D point cloud of the point P1 in the digital map is X1-X4. This is similar for P2 and P3.

In this embodiment of this application, the second pose information may include a yaw angle, a pitch angle, and a roll angle at which the terminal device captures the target image.

It should be understood that after the second pose information is obtained, pose optimization may be further performed based on the second pose information, and a historical moment SLAM pose and a positioning pose result of the terminal device, to output optimized second pose information.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 a , the terminal device performs positioning while moving relative to the target object (a lion statue shown in FIG. 9 a ). At a moment T1, a global visual positioning pose is Tvps_1, and a local SLAM positioning pose is Tslam_1. At a moment T2, a global visual positioning pose is Tvps_2, and a local SLAM positioning pose is Tslam_2. At a moment T3, obtained second pose information is T3d_3, and a local SLAM positioning pose is Tslam_3. At a moment T4, obtained second pose information is T3d_4, and a local SLAM positioning pose is Tslam_4. At a moment T5, obtained second pose information is Tvps_5, and a local SLAM positioning pose is Tslam_5.

A result of the obtained second pose information is a global pose. There is such a constraint relationship between these poses: A transformation matrix between global poses at any two moments should be equal to a transformation matrix between local SLAM poses at corresponding moments. Under this constraint condition, a difference between the two transformation matrices is minimized through image optimization, and optimized second pose information at the moment T5 is output.

In this embodiment of this application, after the terminal device obtains the second pose information, or the server obtains the second pose information and sends the second pose information to the terminal device, the terminal device may display a terminal interface shown in FIG. 10 . The terminal interface indicates that positioning succeeds, and the terminal device may return to the AR interface (for example, an AR navigation interface shown in FIG. 11 ).

In this embodiment of this application, after the terminal device obtains the second pose information, or the server obtains the second pose information and sends the second pose information to the terminal device, the terminal device may further obtain a pose change of the terminal device, and determine a real-time pose based on the second pose information and the obtained pose change of the terminal device.

In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may use the obtained second pose information as an initial pose, determine the pose change of the terminal device by using a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) tracking technology, and determine the real-time pose based on the initial pose and the pose change of the terminal. The terminal device may perform processing such as navigation, route planning, and obstacle avoidance based on the real-time pose. For example, during route planning, the terminal device performs route planning based on a coordinate position to obtain a planned route, where a start point or an end point of the planned route is the coordinate position; and displays a two-dimensional navigation interface, where the two-dimensional navigation interface includes the planned route; or displays the AR navigation interface, where the AR navigation interface includes an image of an environment in which the terminal device is currently located and a navigation guide, and the navigation guide is determined based on the yaw angle, the pitch angle, and the roll angle of the terminal device.

Optionally, in addition to performing processing such as navigation, route planning, and obstacle avoidance based on the real-time pose, after obtaining the second pose information, the terminal device may further obtain a preview stream of a current scenario; determine, based on the second pose information, preset media content included in the digital map corresponding to a scenario in the preview stream; and render the media content in the preview stream.

FIG. 10 shows an interface displayed after the terminal obtains the second pose information. As shown in FIG. 10 , if the second pose information does not meet the pose anomaly condition, it is equivalent that a difference between the second pose information and a correct value of the pose is less than a threshold. In other words, the second pose information may correctly represent a current pose of the terminal. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 , the AR navigation interface of the AR navigation application may continue to be displayed starting from the current pose of the terminal.

In this implementation of this application, if the terminal device is a mobile phone, an AR wearable device, or the like, a virtual scenario may be constructed based on the pose information. First, the terminal device may obtain the preview stream of the current scenario. For example, the user may capture a preview stream of a current environment in a shopping mall. Then, the terminal device may determine the second pose information as the initial pose by using the method mentioned above. Then, the terminal device may obtain the digital map. The digital map records three-dimensional coordinates of each position in the world coordinate system. Corresponding preset media content exists in a preset three-dimensional coordinate position. The terminal may determine, in the digital map, target three-dimensional coordinates corresponding to the real-time pose. If the corresponding preset media content exists at the target three-dimensional coordinates, the terminal obtains the preset media content. For example, the user photographs a target store, and the terminal identifies a real-time pose, determines that a current camera is photographing a target store, and may obtain preset media content corresponding to the target store. The preset media content corresponding to the target store may be description information of the target store, for example, which commodities in the target store are commodities that are worth purchasing. Based on this, the terminal may render the media content in the preview stream. In this case, the user may view the preset media content corresponding to the target store in a preset area near the image corresponding to the target store in the mobile phone. After viewing the preset media content corresponding to the target store, the user may have a general understanding of the target store.

Different digital maps may be set for different places. In this way, when the user moves to another place, preset media content corresponding to a real-time pose may also be obtained based on a media content rendering manner provided in this embodiment of this disclosure, and the media content is rendered in the preview stream.

An embodiment of this application provides a pose determining method. The method includes: obtaining a first image; determining first pose information based on the first image, where the first pose information indicates a corresponding pose in which a terminal captures the first image; and when the first pose information meets a pose anomaly condition, displaying prompt information for indicating to photograph a target object, where the target object is around a location of the terminal, the target object is not in the first image, the target object is used to obtain second pose information, the second pose information indicates a corresponding pose in which the terminal photographs the target object, and the second pose information does not meet the pose anomaly condition. In this manner, when high-precision pose information cannot be determined, pose positioning is implemented by using the target object in a scenario, so that the high-precision pose information is determined based on valid information in the scenario. In addition, in a process of determining pose information of a terminal device, prompt information for indicating the user to photograph the target object is displayed, and the user is indicated to photograph the target object, thereby avoiding that the user does not know how to operate or scan an invalid target object.
